Kylie Wolfe is a personal assistant to her rock star brother, Lucas. She has blue and black hair and a feisty attitude. She has a history of self esteem issues and cutting herself. She has also been in love with Wyatt McCrae since she was a teenager. She tried to escape that love through marrying another man. She really is a glutton for punishment.

Wyatt McCrae is a guitarist for a rock band and been involved with Kylie off and on for years. He has an addiction it seems to women. Sex with women to be exact. He has lived the typical rock star lifestyle you read about in the tabloids. He has been repeatedly unfaithful and hurt Kylie terribly. Even as far as getting a one night stand pregnant.

These two people were heart wrenching to read about because of the pain that they both have felt. Wyatt is the child of an abusive parent and Kylie never felt good enough in her younger years. My complaints were: Kylie being a sap, Wyatt’s infidelity in their past and his treatment during said years of Kylie. He loved her but treated her shabbily. I love the series that spawned this book and can’t wait to read more.

Kellen Jamison is man trapped in the past. His life looks pretty sweet. He’s gorgeous, wealthy, a rock star, has a great best friend and good band mates. But he is partially broken inside. His guilt over promises he made to a dead woman eat him alive. He tortures himself by revisiting the beach house she loved so much. He wears a cuff on one of his wrists as a remembrance of her. He loves her and doesn’t know how to stop.

Dawn O’Reilly is a classical, composing pianist with a Grammy for her achievements. She is staying in a rented beach house for part of the summer trying to finish a piece of music that has her exasperated. Her muse is gone and she can’t find another. She has to be perfect, her music has to be perfect. After a disappointing evening trying to compose, she goes out onto her deck in the storm and sees a man. In that moment everything changes.

This is probably Olivia Cunning’s best work to date in my opinion. I have been waiting for Kellen’s story and this one was fantastic. The emotion in this story was at times almost overwhelming. It took Dawn’s tenacity and determination to make Kellen see that he was alive even if Sara wasn’t. Kellen had to make peace with the promises he made to Sara (who seemed a bit childish and a whole lot selfish in the description of her) and his acknowledgement that it is possible and okay to always love someone’s memory even while you go on living your life. This book moved me to tears, both happy and sad tears. I highly recommend it.

Have you ever wanted to prove something to yourself and maybe everyone else while you’re at it? Well, Caitlyn Hanson did. She wanted to prove to herself that she was sexy and that a man or men would want her. With that in mind she, through the help of her friend, gets admission into a sex club.
She wants sex with a random stranger for nothing more than sex sake. She’s never been very experienced and she married the first man she ever slept with. Turns out he was a cheater and she is now single.

For Owen Mitchell, a bass guitarist for the band Sole Regret, a night at a sex club was pretty normal. He loves sex and will try almost anything. So, when he sees Caitlyn, who’s a few years older than him, he thinks his night just got even better. These two talk and decide on what they want from the night. I won’t say exactly what but I was impressed.

I am a fan of Olivia Cunning and loved the first two books of her Sinners series but lost interest with Trey’s book. I had no interest in finishing that series either. Luckily, I had already started this one. I enjoyed Gabe’s and Adam’s books. I wasn’t crazy about Shade’s book or the novella Share Me but this one kind of redeemed this series and Olivia Cunning as an author for me. I hope people will give this novella series a chance and I can’t wait for her new series that features Dare Mills!
